Dude... Christianity is NOT communism. The left like to misinterpret the Bible to make it APPEAR to be communism/socialism. It's taken ENTIRELY out of context. It is 100% individual liberty, humbleness, and freedom. It's all about personal value, not monetary value. For example, when asked about taxes, Jesus said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, but give to God what belongs to God." Also, when Jesus told people to give everything they have to the poor and follow Him, it wasn't a rallying call for "socialism", it was a statement saying "I am more important than earthly treasures." It's all about the creed of the individual, not the system. When Jesus said "Let all the little children come to me" the left interprets that to mean "no borders" which is a misrepresentation. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" means have a desire to help people, but do not accept the unlawfulness.
Both are Collectivist. Both deny individual rights. Both deny the third fundamental Right of man: Property.
Both require you to surrender your mind. Both are shame-based systems that rely on using your guilt to control you. Both demand that you surrender your individualism -- your MIND -- to a "higher" Authority.
Both explicitly reject Reason.
There is NO functional difference between the two.
You have a narrow view of Jesus teachings. I can only speak as a Catholic and although to a narrow minded person it might appear like your accusations, the reality is not. If you really wanted to learn read our Cathecism. It talks about the moral right to own property, for instance. Catholics are a big tent, but popes explicitly wrote against the immorality of communism and socialism. Don't confuse Christian charity with politics.
Jesus was never against property. He even made a statement " A laborer is due the fruits of his labor".Christians have won more Nobel prizes than any group including Jews.

You clearly know NOTHING about Christianity.
I know a great deal about it.
From the inside. I used to be one.
No, you perhaps knew "churchianity", but you don't know Christianity.
You were never saved. You haven't been sealed with the holy spirit. You are blind. You are biblically illiterate
Lmao Christianity DOES NOT deny the right to personal property.
It's actually the exact opposite. It's a moral right to own your own things.
I guess some people, namely socialists, like to overlook the 8th commandment.
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven."
"The love of money is the root of all evil."
"Sell everything you have and give it to the poor."
The message is clear: sacrifice yourself and all you have, or burn forever in Hell.

Read it.
I'm not talking so much about the Bible as I am about the way that Christians act in the Real World.
That said, I can provide proof texts FROM THE (Protestant) BIBLE of everything I've said above.
